You are the lead systems developer for your local university and have been told that the athletic department would like to modernize their online ticket sales and ordering system for sporting events. You have been called in to come up with a reasonable cost estimate for this project. Your department’s programmers average seven function points on a person-month basis. After speaking with the athletic department, you know that their request is based on the following screen requirements: inputs (5), outputs (4), interfaces

(15), queries (16), and files (20). Further, it has been determined that the relative complexity of each of these functions is as follows: inputs (low), outputs (low), interfaces (high), queries (high), and files (medium).

a. Using this information and the following table, calculate the number of function points for this project.

b. If the cost per programmer is $5,000/month, what is the estimated cost of completing the project for the athletics department?
